Final Score:……..Portuguese Supra………2………..Canadian Lions……….2………..

Attendance was about 70 on this warm, wet night. Rain earlier in the day caused the players to slip and slide when trying to stop and cut in a shot. A fog started rolling in near the end of the game.

Supra pulled out all the stops in the last 20 minutes knowing they had to win. This resulted in end to end action as Lions got in some counterattacks. At 72 minutes, Lions Marko Jancicek is being pushed off ball near the sideline after a long run but he back heeled a pass from 20 yards on left and Lions Milos Vlicinic crossed into box and Lions Craig Patton blasted a 6 yard shot over the net. At 74 minutes Supra Alban Yuktilaj slips in the Lions box and misses the ball and a defender gets to ball but also slipped but had time to clear away. The next minute Lions Craig Patton rolls pass from left part of Supra’s box but Jalani Smith had slipped so the goalie charged out for the ball. At 78 minutes Yuktilaj blasted a 15 yard shot from the right into the outside mesh of the Lions net. At 82 minutes Supra’s Ronald Nicholas chested down a pass into the Lions box and Supra Kevin McIntosh blasted a 7 yard shot well over the net. Two minutes later a Supra defender broke up a Lion 2 on 1 break at 15 yards. 86 minutes had Lions Vlicinic get away as both he and a defender slipped but he got a cross to Lions Nordo Gooden who had the goalie charge and dive on the ball before he could deke him. One minute later the Lions goalie caught a popped up header from 3 yards and them at 89 minutes he charged forward to catch another header from 12 yards. At 90.30 Alex Arbelo got a 12 yard shot from the left into the net but he was ruled offside when he took the pass. 91 minutes had Supra Ronald Nicholas pass forward to Helio Perreira who quick kicks and 18 yard shot that’s caught by the goalie. 92 minutes had Arbelo 20 yard shot from left in crowd of players sail well over net.

After a Lions defender cleared the ball in their box at 94:05, referee Vito Curalli finally ended the game.

Supra knew they had to win tonight to get into the playoffs. Ennio Peruzza who usually announces the Astros games was here instead but kept in touch with the Astros road game against Italia Shooters. A Supra win would have left Windsor Border Stars out of the playoffs. Supra win and Astros lose would have had Astros out of the playoffs. This result finished the Supra season and left them in 9th place. Astros earned a 0-0 tie and that hurt Shooters who failed to flip over Toronto Croatia in the standings and now must travel to Trois-Rivieres Attak for a one game quarterfinal playoff. Ennio estimated that might cost $7000 in traveling costs.

Lions knew they were finishing seventh and will travel to St Catharines and play the team seeded second, St Catharines Wolves who won the National Division. The Lions again played without their leading scorer Evan Milward who is playing his fourth game in a row for the MLS Toronto FC Reserves team. They are in Colorado. He played Friday night and scored a Penalty kick goal in their win against Toronto Croatia.

Lions Jelani Smith is the youngest player in the league at only 16.
